Mapping Luxury




We can’t do genealogical research without the luxury of maps to aid in our research process or the presentation of our findings.
Online maps are greatly improving and a wide variety of software is available to assist in mapping a project. It is becoming more and more convenient to create maps to convey our results or bring a research theory to fruition. Here are a few widely used sources for mapping.
